The relic you need to open the door is actually on the island of Chios in the northern region of the Hunted Forest of Artemis.
You'll need to head to the Huntress Village there, and work your way into their vault to grab the key. After you've opened up the door, run after the slightly annoying now Bryce, killed some snakes, grabbed some loot and worked your way through the Petrified Temple, it'll finally be time to take on Medusa.
Now, I'll warn you, Medusa does not mess around when it comes to combat. She ain't easy, but there are a few tricks to staying out of her line of fire. First she'll send out some mercenaries to take out out, while she protects herself with a bubble shield. Deal with them, but dodge as much as you can because she'll be trying to turn you to stone while you fight and dropping lighting bombs on you.
Then, when they're down, sneak an attack in on Medusa herself, before retreating towards one of the stone pillars that sit around the arena. She'll drop three lightning attacks from aboe in quick succession, so dodge them, and then hide behind a pillar to avoid her stone gaze. Measure content performance.

In the art of the period, it was not important to realistically attribute Medusa.
What mattered the most was creating a recognizable figure with the ability to instantly trigger fear. Then, from a symbol of horror, she became a symbol of dangerous beauty. This opened up her artistic representation and allowed for more realistic approaches to her image.
This new imagery made its way to Roman art, then to the Renaissance , and from there to Hollywood. However, in the case of the Temple of Artemis, the Medusa serves something more than a simple apotropaic function. She is there to awe and inspire. For the superstitious Greeks, the gaze of the Medusa was always a powerful symbol of terrifying divine power.
Worth noting is that the Medusa in antiquity was also a symbol of the Other. Like most half-man, half-animal beings, she was the Other as found in nature. A symbol of the raw force of nature that can conquer us with a simple look.
Medusa was also the Other of a deeply oppressive patriarchal society, a woman. She can even be viewed as the most extreme Other of this hierarchal system; a powerful woman, deadly and chaotic.
The myth of the Medusa itself is a strong reminder of the irrationality of the divine. A power in front of which the mortal remains completely powerless.
